‘LIFE AIN’T FAIR’

JUST A DAY AFTER US WEEKLY REPORTS THAT Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are officially over, along comes release of the singer’s video collaboration with Snoop Lion in a sad ode to loss.

The just-released video for Ashtrays and Heartbreaks paints a moody portrait of loss and longing, made all the more poignant by the effective harmonizing of the two performers. The video uses glass and light to create the illusion of memory and of friends and acquaintances no longer in our realm.

Now my buzz is gone, and I need to re-up on reality

Can’t let them see me weak I need to pause on it

Is there any possibility that everyone feels like me

Ashtrays and heartbreaks

I lost some, let’s toast to one

So put ’em high, and reminisce

You’re gone, but you’re never missed

Ashtrays and heartbreaks

I lost some, and since when

So raise a glass to the memories and set em’ free

Featured on Snoop’s latest album, Reincarnated, the song is produced by Major Lazer, Ariel Rechtshaid and Dre Skull.

Snoop and Miley may hail from different worlds, but the power of their performances proves that suffering is a universal experience. And, in this case, we’re all the better for it. When Miley sings, “Is there any possibility that everyone feels like me”,” the answer is yes.
